I own a Sugar, and even I know better than that. Chris |

They told me they ride nice and firm, and not spongy like a lot of full suspensions. At a recent bike festival, I test rode both a Team Sugar model and also one of the Sugar + models (can't remember which specific model). Both bikes did ride wonderfully, without a hint of bob, but as discussed here many times, I also witnessed at least 3 other riders along the trail that same day with chain suck problems, something that seems to be inherent with Gary Fisher bikes. |

How the heck would a particular model bike create/cause chainsuck? I always thought it was because of worn chainrings. |

Sometimes it's caused by problems in design, manufacture, or chainline. The Bontrager cranks are reknowned for this problem and I believe they're fitted to the Sugars. And let's not start on the Sugar's tendency to snap... -- a.m-b FAQ: http://www.t-online.de/~jharris/ambfaq.htm a.bmx FAQ: http://www.t-online.de/~jharris/bmx_faq.htm |

I think the Sugar is a very good bike, and for where I ride, how I ride, and who I am I think it's a great bike...but that doesn't mean Intense Spiders or Tracers, Turner Burners, or even a SC Blur wouldn't feel a bit better. The difference that made me go with Fisher? About $1500. Chris |
